A BAD WEEK.
Trouble on the N. p. Railroad during a cold
week.

The longest period since the construc-
ton of the Northern Pacific Bozeman
was without mail matter last week, The
train from the west arrived on Monday
and no other passed through until satur-
day morning at l O'Clock. From the
east the one arrived on Wednesday that
should have been here on Sunday and
no other came until Saturday. The one
arriving on Wednesday struck a broken
rail while going slowly around the
SALTWATER BEND
and precipitated two baggage cars and
the two second class cars down to the
Yellowstone river and badly demoralized
them. Fortunately. beyond severe
shaking and some bruises, no one was
hurt. The passengers in the two Pull
mans felt but slight shock. All hands
worked the wreck until 1880. when the
dining car and coach were replaced on
the track and with the Pullmans were
hauled back to Park City. The remaind-
er of the cars were left on the ice of the
Yellowstone. Had there been no ice at
least forty of l50 people on the train
would have been drowned.
On Wednesday morning two engines
having on board twenty shOvelen who
were engaged in raising the
BLOCKADE AT MULLIN.
struck drift of snow by which the two
engines were thrown from the track and
upset. Frank Jones an engineer was in
stantly kill. Dan O'Neill the other en-
gineer was severely injured also and
several of the laborers.
At the Mullan tunnel and other places
west of Helena the snow was piled upon
the track to great height and it is
matter of surprise that the road got in
working order 80 soon. At Helena Agent
Stokes hired large number of laborers
and forwarded them as fast as possible to
points along the line, where they were
required.
In Dakota near Mandan the same
trouble wae experienced and only with
the hardest work were trains able to
move by Friday. 1t is stated that this
unusual cold snap has cost the Northern
Pacific $4,000,

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.

The dynamo of the Bozeman Electric
Light Company's plant was shipped Jan.
9th, and it is supposed was "tied up"
in one of the many snow blockades. In
the meanwhile Messs. Livingston and
Lysinger have put in all the poles and
laid all the wire required besides putting
in about 20 lights, ordered. As
with all innovations Bozeman is slow to
take hold and not few are awaiting
the test that will be given, the lights be-
fore ordering them placed in their stores.
Several lights will be exhibited out Of
doors for few nights, and in all pro-
liability our city fathers will consent to
have the city lighted thenceforth. The
cost of lighting the city is figured at one
half mill on the dollar Ofour present city
taxation. The incorporstors of the Boze-
man Electric Light Company have met
with manifold obstacles and vexatious
DELAYS and difficulties sufficient to un-
balance the brain Of many men. Their
plant which was promised in December
has been delayed week after week by
various causes and the company compel
led to lose the very best portion Of their
season. In addition to the first class
machines, wires, lamps, etc, the company
have erected building near Meadows
mill where they have the use ofa water
power of forty-eight horse power, six
teen horse being all that Is required. In
twenty-four hours after receiving the
dynomo electricity will be turned On
and Bozeman will emerge from the coal
oil era to that of electricity.

number of teams and conveyed num-
ber Of people to the dynamo building,
where eight arc lights were set ablaze by
electricity. The machine ran to the sat-
isfaction of the electric company and the
lights burned without a flicker. The
test was highly satisfactory. and last
night the lights were turned ON in the
city. SGT it down;-Tuesday, Feb. Sth

TIE STATE CANVASS.

The State Democratic Committee has
had two long sessions during Tuesday
and yesterday, and thoroughly examined
the affairs of the party in the present
canvass As far as we have any right to
sneak from what has been heard of the
deliberations of the committee, the whole
question may be written in one phrase
Organize the party, get the voters to go
to the polls, and the victory is certain.
The Committee after communicating
with the County Chairman and canvass
ers and furnishing them with the main
points that enter into the contest, can do
no more than appeal to the active and
patriotic members Of the party to do their
part of the work That part is to call
the roll Of the Democratic party at once
in every precinct and see that the voters
are called on to be present on election
day.
Ii is not necessary TO repeat all the
arguments against the Republican party
which is well known by its general and
individual characteristics in Virginia If
the Republican party had the best profe'-
sions of principle in the world we all
know that Malone could not be trusted
to keep the promises, particularly now
when so many of his former brethren are
abusing him for going back on them.
We have one more suggestion to make,
and that is to remind the people that the
Democratic party holds the power of the
country, which they won after the fight
of twenty years by just principles, and
that it is better to be on the strong side,
especially when that side is right.

The Presidents proclamation, naming
the cath of November as Thanksgiving
day, states in general terms good many
things for which We ought to be thank
full, but il necessarily by courtesy leaves
out of the list the most shining blessing
of all these past twenty years, viz: the
restoration OF free government under
Democratic principles after the country
had been so long time under the ring
rule OF the Radicals The Southern peo-
pie are best able to interline the Presi-
dents proclamation with these peculiar
features Of reform.
If the Government had not been res
cued from the Blaines, Arthurs, Bill
Chambers, and other great bosses, there
il no telling how far the Republican
party would have carried their policy, OF
how II could be broken up if they had
held the offices four years longer.
